Third-Party Descriptions

August 2007: 'Above all, the Justice Department shouldn't delegate even a thimbleful of its authority over free expression to an outfit with so much contempt for modern First Amendment doctrine. In his oath of office, Gonzales swore to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States." That's one task that he just can't outsource.'

December 2005: 'How did we get to this hypocritical juncture where journalistic bluster doesn't match performance? Stephen Bates provides an essential history lesson in his April 2000 monograph, "The Reporter's Privilege, Then and Now."'
